The Climate March in Washington DC on April 29, 2017, was a flood of people shoulder to shoulder the entire width of Pennsylvania Avenue which took two hours to pass by the spot where I stood near the Navy Memorial. People know that the climate is changing because of CO2 emissions from fossil fuels. Unfortunately the political leaders in the US are tools of the fossil fuel industry. Nothing will happen to save the planet until that evil relationship is broken.

National anger against Trump and his administration for their forced separation of immigrant children from their parents caused demonstrations all over the USA. This one occurred in Lafayette Park opposite the White House, even though Mr. Trump was away for the weekend at one of his private golf clubs.

I participated in this river of humanity flowing along Independence Avenue inn Washington DC on January 21, 2017.

On the one-year anniversary of the first Womens' March the day after Trump's inauguration in 2017, the resistance digs in with more women running for office and continuing to protest the Republican administration. These images were made of marchers outside the White House, where they had moved after speeches at the Lincoln Memorial. There seemed to be as many men and children as women alone, in an amiable but determined atmosphere. Most signs were hand made, home made, and heartfelt.
